PART. I.

KYOTO.

Introduction.

The people of Kyoto take pride in the fact that their city was founded
by an emperor and tor many centuries served as the imperial residence.
We must not condemn such pride provided, of course, the existing conditions
of the city be such as not to belie her history. ^Ve arc rightly gratified in
introducing Kyoto to the world as a city founded by an emperor and the
cHiMtal for more than ten centuries, for by her present attractions, her
monuments, and fmc arts, industries and other activities, she now occupies
a fore-most position among the cities of the country.

Population and Name.

Kyoto ranks third among the cities of the empire in point of popula-
tion. She has now about 1 10,000 inhabitants, the number having almost
doubled in the last quarter of a century. The name Kyoto signifies
" Capital " as the city was the imperial residence for nearly eleven hundred
years. In ancient times, people called it " Ilcianjo", or the " citadel of
tranquillity". It has also been called " Saikyo"', meaning the " western
capital", as the name Yedo was changed to Tokyo, or "eastern capital",
preparatory to the removal thither of the scat of government in 1868.

Geographical Position.

The city is situated near the centre of Yamashiro Province, at latitude
3o° r 7" N. and longitude 135° 46' 7" K., wiih an elevation of
about 162 feet above sea level. Surrounded on three sides by verdant
moimtaias, the city lies at the northern extremity of a fertile plain
which joias a greater one on the south stretching to Osaka Bay. The city
limits, which have varied from time to time, now include about 18 square
miles; the maximum distance from east to west being about eight and
from north to south a trifle over five miles. 'I'he Kamo River, running from
north to south at the base of a chain of hills studded with temples, passes
through the city. On the west, runs the Katsura ; and between flows the
Takase river.

History of Kyoto.

Before giving a brief history of Kyoto it may be well to mention the

feet that it was the custom in Japan, from limes too remote to be included

n —

in writtpn annals, for the Sovereign and the TTeir Apparent to live in different
palaces. It was the rule in ancient limes for the Prince Imperial to clioose
a locality for his palace wholly distinct from that of the iMnpcror. I'herc
was a limit set, however, to all these shiftings, they being tionfined within
five adjacent provinces, known as Gokinai. As civilization advanced and
the imperial residence assumed magnificence and splendor, it was not easy
to move the centre of adnunistration as often as had been the castom in
earlier days. When the capital was established at Nara at the begining of
the Sth ccnturv, it was not moved elsewhere at the death of its founder,,
the iMnpress Genim>o. Seven Sovereigns reigned in Nara consecutively.
In 701 the Emperor Kammu selected Uda, in the Kadono district of
Vamashiro Province, and took steps to transfer the court thither. 'I'his is
the modern Kyoto.

The city thus conceived and laid out so long ago bears el0(juent
testimony to the greatness and resourcefulness of the Empcor Kammu's
mind. At the time when the city was first built the palace was consider-
ably to the west of its present location. From the main gate stretched an
avenue 280 feet wide, known asShnjaku Street, which has dwindled to the
busy Sembon St. of to-day. The street extended to the soiithcm gate,
di\iding ihe city into two parts, 'i'he western part was called Choan, or
the Right of the Western Capital; and the other section was named Rokujo,
being also known as the Left of the Eastern Capital. Nine wide streets
running from cast to west were numbered Ichijo, Nijo, Sanjo (1st Ave.,
2nd Ave., 3rd Ave.) &c. The broadest of these measured 170 feet, while
others were only about half as wide. Between them were streets 10 feet
wide. Thus 38 streets ran east and west, while similar sets of streets ex-
tended north and south. The Capital was thns divided into squares re-
sembling those of a checker board. Each square, or cho, was -400 feet
square. There were 1216 of those, .\round the whole city were a low
wall and a double moat. Gates marked the ends of the main avenues.

To write the history of Kyoto to the begining of the present era would
be iv» write the whole history of Japan from the time Kammu founded
Kyoto until the a.s.sension of the present emperor; but only a few important
events will be mentioned here.

Peace and prosperity followed the establishment of the " Citadel of
Tranquility" ; but the time came when the imperial prestige was weaken-
ed by the usurpation of the Fujiwara family, and subsequently by the
war oi Gen-Pei in the i2th century, which finally led to the founding

KYOTO DANCK.

Kyoto girls are noted for their skill in dancing. The Kyoto dance is of a
dignified character and consists mainly of rhythmical movements, especially of the
arms, to a musical accompaniment, coupled with a reciatation of a poem or a drama
that relates some legendary or histric incident. Most gorgeously colored fans are
iudispcnsible, every motion being emphasized by them.

of the feiulal system. After this Kyoto began to decline unt.l it become
merely a nominal capital, ruled l.)y the deligates of the Shugun when the
military governnient was established at Kamaknra.

1 lie Kaniakura Government, however, was abolished in 18r^>o, and the
restoration of the crown had just commenced when a great ci\ il war broke
out in which the imperial line was di\ided into the Northern Court and
the Southern Court. h"or ")" years terrible battles were fouglit with Kyoto
as the centre. During this liiuc the city was reduced lu a waste.

At the close of the 1-Jth century the Shogunate fell to the Ashikaga
faniil)- who continued in power tor 180 years. During this period the city
was the scene of man\' disasters, the greatest being the Onin W'lu which
was l)egun in 1-107 and lasted more than six years reducing to ashes almost
the whole city. The country continued to be in turmoil until Toyotomi
llideyoshi subdued the rebellions feudal lords and reunited the country
under one go\ernment. He reconstructed the city, restoring the destroyed
temples, delapidated shrines, and building a permanent residence for the
emperors. .At his death, in 1508, Tokugawa lyeyasu succeeded and laid
the foundation of the Shogunate in Yedo, now Tokyo.

Peace reigned for nearly three hundred years under the Tokugawa
dynasty. But the question of foreign intercourse brought royalists to Kyoto
to protect the Emperor and bring about the downfiiU of the Shogunate.
The fierce battle tbught round the imperial palace in 1S<)4 caused the
destruction of the greater part of the city by hre. In 1868 the castle of
Yedo surrendeied to the royal army and the present emperor ascended the
throne. The imperial residence was then moved to Yedo, which was called
'J okyu, meaning eastern capital, .\fter the removal, of course, K)'oto
again Ijegan to decline. But the establishment of lines of communication,
the development of various industries, the beauty of the i)lace, and the
historical cliarm of the city, all combined to bring back much of its ancient
glory and to caiuic it to prosper as a centre of the art industries of the
empire.

Means of Communicatiou.

Before railroad days, the conimunication between Osaka and Kyoto
was chiefly kejit up by means of the Yodo River, of whicli the Katsura is
one of the main tributaries. Both the Katsura and the Takase are still
used for transfjorting goods by small boats. The city is intersected by
aqueducts and canaLi connected with the Biwa Lake Canal, which is about

- 5 -

seven miles long and which keeps the city in close touch with the region
surrounding that great lake.

Land communication is well established with other parts of the country.
Besides post and telegraph offices, branches of which are found in various
parts of the city, the telephone system is well established. The electric car
s\stem of Kyoto, tlie first operated in Japan, carries an average of 2o,0<X)
persons daily, receiving an average of about 1,400 j-r// per day for fares.
An electric car line connects the city with Fushimi to the south ; and work
on a new car line between Kyoto and Osaka is now nearing completion.

There are three government railway lines : the 'i okaido joined by one
from Sonobe and by one from Kara. There are two railroad stations in
the city : one at Shichijo and the other at Nijo. The following tables will
show the number of passengers passing through these stations last year :

KYOTO COMMERCIAL. MUSEUM.

Kyoto has so been the centre of art that a general custom prevails
among the upper and more extravagant classes of society to have clothes
and furniture made in this city so that the fashion of the country along
these lines may be said to originate here. Unfortunately these facts arc
not generally known to visitors, especially to our foreign guests whose
number has increased perceptibly in recent years. 'I'his is mainly due to
the lack of a proper medium for making the true condition known to the
public. The lack has been most keenly felt of late in Kyoto where many
foreign firms are trying to introduce their products.

— 11 —

In order to remed}- this state of affairs, to promote local industry and
to establish closer business relations with other parts of the world, the Kyoto
Commercial Museum has been established. A resolution was passed by on
Industrial Committee of the city which met in May, 190'"), to tlie effect that
a commercial museum should be establislied in commemoration of our great
victory in the war just ended. The resolution was finally passed as a bill by
the City Counsel and work on the building was began in November of the
following year in Okazaki Park close to the zoological garden. The work
was completed in April, 1909. The enclosure contains about (5,790 tsubo.
The main building is three stories high, Renaiscene in style, and occupies,
with its auxilitary buildings, 428 tsubo. About 181,500 yen were spent
for its construction. AVith the installation completed by Keisuke Xiwa,
director, the Museum was opened to the public on May lo, 1909, with
appropriate ceremon\\

Aim and Crest.

Besides [)romoting local industry and establishing closer business re-
lations with other parts of the worlds, the institution has still anotlier
function as symbolized in the Museum's crest «^ the three petals indicat-
ing the heart of the manufacturer, the merchant, and the cunsumer, respec-
tively. The union of the petals shows the harmony of tiiese three so
essential to the perfect de\elopment of business. It is one of the aims of
this institution to bring manufacturers, merchants, and consumers together
and keep them in harmonious vmion, acting as their common medium.

£xliibits.

The exhibits displayed consist mainly of articles manufactured in
Kyoto, being samples or specimens of commodities that can be supplied
according to need. In order to provide oi)portunities for our manufacturers
to imjjrove their goods by comparison with others, the Museum collects
and exhibits samples of articles produced in other parts of the world.
Moreover, lectures will be given from time to time for the public under the
auspices of the Museum. I''urthermore, horticulture as an out-door e\-
liibit is one of the feature of the Museum. There have been laid out in
Museum the grounds genuin Japanese gardens designed and made b)' the
LandyajK; (hardening .Society of the city. The beautiful and artistic
arrangement of the trees, ponds and bridges, and the varieiv of landscapes
introduced, will surely be a wonderful siu'prise to visitors.

INDUSTRIES OF KYOTO.

The Commercial and Industrial City.

Although Kyoto is generally known as a city of historical temples and
old palaces, the fact must not be overlooked tliat she is also a centre of
arts and alive with commerce and industries. Being fa\'orably situated as
a centre of distribution for the vast stretches of country to her north, equip-
ped with railroads and the canal, this is a thriving commercial city. There
are now about 125,000 men and women engaged in trade and commerce.
To-day there exist nearly 200 companies or corporations with an aggregate
capital of about 37 million yen.

Over 103,000 men and women are engaged in some kind of industry,
producing about 36,000,000 yen's worth of goods annually. Although the
family system still prevails, there are at present nearly 200 factories in
operation, about 70 of which use motive power ot one form or another,
employing a daily average of about 7,200 workmen.

According to ancient records, the art of weaving in Japan was known
even in prehistoric ages. History states that the Kmperor Jimmu (660-684
B.C.) the founder of the imperial dynasty, introduced the art of weaving
ana that at the tiuie of the P^mperor Sujin (96-31 B.C.) varicur kinds
of fabrics were presented to the court in the form of tribute. The coming
of skilled weavers from China and Corea at the time of the Emperor Ojin
(291-310 A.D.) gave new iuii)etus to the textile industry which de\eloped
greatly under the reign of the Emperor Nintoku (313-399 AJ ).) when the
raising of silk worms was encouraged. In recognition of the good work
done by naturalized Chinese, family names were given to them by different
emperors, and the priviledge of monopoly in this industry through succes-
sive generaticjns. This system was finally abolished in tiie reign of the
emj^eror Kotoku (515-505) when a department of textiles was estaMislied
in the imijerial government. The industry made marked prog.ess during
the Nara period (657-781).

History of the Industry in Kyoto.

It was in a tlurishing coiuiiliou when the capital was moved to Kyoto
in TiM. llo\vc\'er, when the political power was wrenched from the hands
of the Fujiwara family by the warriors, dishonor spread all over the country.
Robbers plajed havoc and no tribute reached the capital from the distant
parts of the country, where, as a consequence, the textile industry gradually
declined. Not onl)' in provinces but in the metropolis as well street fights
were of frecjuent occurrence. With other industries, brocade weaving was
stopped and not taken up for a time.

However, Ouchi Hiroyo, a wealthy feudal lord of Yamaguchi, in
order to satisfy his extravagant desire, encouraged the weaving of costly
fabrics, such as brocade. For this purpose he brought to his domain skilled
artisans from Kyoto and elsewhere. When Yoshihiro, his son, moved his
castle to Sakai, about eight miles south of Osaka, the centre of the weaving
industry moved with it. About 180 years after the removal of the feudal
seat, skilled weavers came to Sakai from China and introduced new methods
in the art of weaving.

Peace being restored to the country by Hideyoshi, the people returned
to their industries. On the ground that the water of Shirakumo village,
where weavers were huddles together, was not suitable for the industry,
Hideyoshi ordered the seat to be moved to Shinzaike village. Shortly
after the removed they again moved to Nishijin village where the greatest
number of weavers is now settled. Then a company of artisans were sent
to Sakai. liaving learned the improved method of weaving they returned
to their work in Kyoto, their new acquirement enabling them to device
new fabric. The industry flourished to sucli an extent that the importation
of costly Chinese fabrics perceptably decreased.

Nothing interrupted the growth until 1835 when it was decreed that
the people should refrain from the use of silken garments. This was a
blow, indeed, but it opened a new possibility, for they began to turn
out what is known as mixed fabrics in which a large quantity of cotton
was used. I'his branch of industry in Kyoto suffered much when tlie
present Emi^eror moved the seat of government to Tokyo at the begining
of the Meiji era. Not only were the weavers deserted by the court nobles,
their patroas, but the government subsidy was withdrawn.

Introdiiction of Jacquard System.

Baron Makimura, the Governor of Kyoto, did his ntmost to r..ive
the indtistry from catastrophy. For this purpose, between 1860 and 1872,
he loaned fiom the pubh'c fund necessary sums of money, amounting to
62,000 yc//. Further nioic, he sent some students to France to study the
art of weaving and to buy new weaving machinery. Moreover, he estabhslicd
in 1872 what was known as Oridono, an experiment station, where the
materials were tested and a Jacquard's machine, brought from France, was
operated to demonstrate its superiority over the simple hand machine then
in common use. It took more than ten years to sec the merit of the
machine and secure an adoption of the the new method. It was not until
1880 that the Jac<iuard system was introduced into the work shops.

Growth of Satin.

Under tlic untiring efforts of the governor, material progress was made
in the te.vtile industry. In 1872 im[;orted cotton began to be used as the
woof. It impro\cd th.e appearance and lessened the cost of production.
Esjxcially after the iiitroduclion of the Jac(|uaid system, many kinds of
fabrics were invented. Hitherto satin had been e.\clusi\cly imported from
China, but an excellent fabric was now turned out in such (luantitics ;is not
only to check the importation from China, but even to supply China with
the Kyoto product.

Present Condition.

The Ruso -Japanese War was a blow to the industry at Xishijin ; but
the restoration of peace in 1005 and the business activity that followed
revived the le.stilc industry and pushed it to a high mark imtil it suffered
reaction toward the middle of 1007. It is now in fair condition as shown
by the figures given below. There arc now no less than seven hundred
kinds of fabi ic produced at Xishijin.

WEAVING AT NISHIJIN.
Although Kyoto is no longer the Imperial residciici-, the Nishijiii wc;»vcis
continue to enjoy the favor of the Court. Among their specialties arc lijjurcd jilks,
crapes, brocades, velvets, and tapestries.

BLEACHINO ON DRV HED Ol KAMO(-A\VA.
For dyeing and bleaching Kyoto has natural advantages. 'I'hc water,
especially that of Kamogawa, possesses bleaching and dyeing properties not to be
found else where in the country, so that whoever desires a robe of pure white or of
brilliant hue seeks it in Kyoto.

Yuzon in a comprehensive term, including all the delicate silk fabrics on
whicli various designs are executed by a special process that has always been the ex-
clusive possession of Kyoto dyers. Velvet yuzen is chiefly used for decorative
purposes. Silk or crape yuzen is universally regarded in Japan as an excellent
material fur ladies' dresses.

DYEING.

Development.

As it has been stated elsewhere, all the indust:ies of Kyoto began
when the capital was removed thither by the Emperor Kammu, Thus tlie
history of the dyeing industry in Kyoto began in 794. At that time the
material for dyeing was taken either from vegetable or mineral matter, as
had been the practice ever since the introduction of the art of dyeing from
China in ancient times. It is recorded that safflower was used dyestuff.
"When the use of l\'e was discovered about 1785 safflower dyeing was
greatly improved. When alizalin began to be imported, the use of .safflower
was practically abandoned. The founder of Kyoto decreed purple to be
exclusively a ro)-al color, allowing the common people to use only pale
}iurple, the color obtained l>y dyeing ippiki (about '33 yards) of silk with a
pound of shiko/i (lythosperum crythroil-ii/on) being taken as the stan-
dard. Horever, since the introduction of anilin dye-stuff from abroad in
180S, the use of sliikon has become rare, owing to the cheapness and
brilliancy of the former. But owing to ignorance in the use of the dye-
stuff, inferior goods were turned out to such an extent that fuially a
chemical laboratory and school for dyeing was established b)- K)oto
prefecture. After study and many experiments, the sui^eiiority of imported
dye stuffs .was clearly established and the d}'ers were enliglitened in regard
to their use.

— 23 —

Tlie exquisite accomplishment in dyeing known as " yuzen," so widely
known in the world today, was invented by a Buddhist priest of Kyoto
bearing that name. Yuzen was already in vogue at the close of the 17th
century. Horikawa Shinzaburo started muslin yuzen, while Nishimura
Sozaemon began velvet yuzen, better known as cut velvet.

Among others these prominent men of Kyoto have contributed much
toward the development of the dyeing industry of Japan.

Present Condition.

Of hundreds of different kinds of dyeing, only a few will be mentioned
in the list given below. A glance at the table which was taken from the
latest annual report will show how important a position the yuzen dyeing
occupies compared with such as chugata, ordinary printing, or Kanoko, a
style of dyeing which consists in producting white spot on coloured ground.
It will also convey a rough idea of the present condition of the dyeing
industry of the city :

it may perhaps be well to add here that division of labor has been
practiced in the dyeing industry of Kyoto to an imusual extent. Further-
more, practically all the dyers receive orders from drygoods commission
merchants known as shikkai, and weavers. IndependeiU dyers, who deal
in their products, are extremely rare aud are cundued to a lew wculthy

SMBROIDERY.

'rhe (.'iiibroiderer's craft lias been zealously followed in Japan ever
since tliree artis;ins hired from China in the regin of the Emperor Onin,
abont fifteen hundretl years ago, taught the dainty art. By the time Kyoto
became the centre of the craft, soon after tlie founding of the city, it attain-
ed great excellence. At one time a special bureau was established in the
central government to encourage this craft, lender the Tokugawa regime,
three distinct grades of embroiderers were found in the city of Kyoto, one
furnisliing articles for court nobles, another for the cit>' people at large and
the other tor country folk. 'I'he demand for these goods greatly decreased
after the abolition of the feudal system; and the craft suffered a marked
decline.

However, a small display of embroidered goods at the \'ienna Exhibi-
tion in 1874 and at the Philadelphia Exhibition three years later attracted
the attention of foreigners. Jai)3nese Embroidery found access to the for-
eign markets and met with approval there. This served to revi\e the
industry. To-day the art has reached a high grade of i>erfection ; and
Kyoto still remains the centre of the intricate craft characterized as needle-
painting which taxes the manual dexterity, the inexhaustible patience, and
the decorative instinct of her people.

There were produced during this last year about 250,000 pieces of
embroidery valued at about 400,000 ^'<f«. More than 80 per cent of this
was exported.

CORD, KNITTING AND LACE WORK.

The cord, thread and knitting industry of Kyoto is as old as the oldest
craft in the city. At the begining of the Takugawa era a guild was formed
ta regulate and oversee tlieir production. Its supervision produced good
effects on the industry. Toward the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, many
feudal lords assembled in the capital and the demand for these articles per-
c:eptibly increased. However, at the removal of the capital to Yedo, die
demand suddenly fell to one fifth. Consequently many have closed doors
and abandoned the business. However, dviring the last year, 237 houses
were engaged in this industry with 1,232 artisans, and ])roduced 2,108,703
ye/i's worth of goods, including gold and silver threads, strings for musical
instruments, and cord of all description.

Lace is yet in its infancy, with a good prospect before it. The [iro-
duction of knitted shawls, mainly for home consumption, amounted to nearly
■\ii),(mvt:n last year.

EMBROIDERERS AT wbRK.
The embroidery of liigh grade now produced in Kyoto can justly be compared
to fine painting. Many varieties of threads are used, and infinited patience involved.
Some of the pieces are often the work of two or three years. Ceremonial garments,
theatrical costumes, priests' robes, screens, panel pictures arc some of the articles
that one finds elegantly embroidered.

KERAMICS.

History cf Keramics in Kyoto.

The history ui" Kyoto koramics is the history df individual artists
rather than of sj)cci.il iiumiluctures. Broadly six-aking, however, there are
lour varieties of waie, /("rf^vz-vrtX:/, Awaia-yaki, Jiijakufu-}i.iki\ and AV>v-
iiiiJ,u-yakt.

It is recorded that green tiles were baked in a kihi at Takagamine at
the tinw when the capital was removed to Kyoto. Kaithen ware was pro-
duced at Fukakusa some 725 years ago. About 25 years later a Buddhist
priest named Keisho taught the primitive art of pottery-making to tile
makers, who produced wares in great abundance. However, none of them
could be called real pottery. About 460 years ago, Otawa Kurazaemon
discovered an old kiln at Chawan/aka and removed it to Fukakusa. Fiis
work did not show any noticeable improvement. Haifa century later one
Motokichi of Shibu\a devoted himself to the improvement of the old method
used at Fukakusa. It was just about at this time that a naturalized Corean
acquired the art of making a certain kind of pottery which later found
lavor with Nobunaga and Hideyoshi This was the begining of the faience
known as Raku-yaki.

Raku-yaki is essentially a domestic faience of Japan, for, as its manu-
facture offers few difficulties, it is made by amateurs throughout the
country. The raku-yaki of Kyoto is tl.e parent of all the rest. The term
Raku did not come into use until the close of the 16th century when
Chojiro of Kyoto received from Hideyoshi a seal bearing the ideograph
raku with which he thenceforth marked his wares. Thirteen generations of
the same famil)' carried on the work, each using the same ideograph.

The faiance is thick and ckunsy, ha\'ing a soft, brittle and very light
paste. The staple type has a black gla/e showing little lustre, and in choice
vajrieties this is curioiisly speckled and pitted with red. There are also
found salmon, red. yellow, and white glazes. In some of the late specimens
gilding was added.

At the begining of the 17th century Sammonjiya of Seto, Owari pro-
vince, s^tled in Awataguchi and became the first manufacturer of Awara-
yaki. This ware is the best known among the keramic products of Kyoto.
However, it did not become famous until Nernura Seisuke, a potter of
remarkable ability, florished in the western cepital about the middle of the
17th century. Tie utili/.ed the new method of decorating with enamels over
the glaze, a method that came to Kyoto from Hizen. Some of the raort

POTTERS AT WORK.

A marked impro\cmciit in the potter's, art was made in Japan after the
rekuro, or potter's wlwel, was introduced by a Buddhist priest named Giogi in 224 A.
D. The introduction of tea ceremonies about 4^0 years ago proved a great stimulus
to pottery making. Previous to the downfall of the feudal system in 187], workers
and designers in clay were ranked as artists and belonged to the official class.

noted of the keramists of the Awata fartorie«; who followed Minsei were
Kcman, Ebisci, Dohachi, Kinkozan, Ilozan, Taizan and Bizan.

The origin of hcdktttayaki is somewhat abscnre, its early history being
confused with that of Awatayaki, frori which it does not materially differ.
In the term Kiyoniithuyaki may be included roughly all the faience of
Kyoto, the three varieties above mentioned being excepted. On the slopes
of Kiyomidzu-zaka and Gojo-zaka lived a number of keramists of this
variety. Blue and white porcelain is now made there in abundance.
Among some of the famoue names of this ware may be mentioned Ebisei,
Eisen, Rokubei, Shubci, Kentei and Eiraku. It should be noted that
Eisen was the first to manifacture porcelain as distinguished from faience, in
Kyoto. To Seifu Vohei is generally given the first place among the
modern potters of Kyoto. The industry owes much of its development to
the Kyoto Keramic Experimental Institute founded some twelve years ago.
To-day there are about 400 kilns at work, producing nearly one million
)r«\f worth of faience and porcelain of almost every description. About
two-thirds of that amount is exported.

LACQUER.

The art of lacquer was known to ancient Japan, a record showing its
existence early in the ord century, when the Empress Jingo conquered
Corea. When the Emperor Kammu removed the capital to Kyoto, a sur-
face decoration with either gold or bronze powder on a black ground was
most extensively used in all lacquers. This was called Nashiiji, as, when
finished, it resembled the colour of Japanese pears. At the beginning of
the f)th century inlaying of lacquer with mother of pearl was practiced by
Kyoto artists.

The lacquer industry developed rapidly with the rising luxury of the
court when the Fujiwara family had control of the government at Kyoto.
It is recorded that nobles had even their ox chariots ornamented with gold
lacquer. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, at the end of the l-4th cent., had gold leaf
used in lacquer in decorating the Kinkaku, or the golden pavilion, at Kita-
yama. This was a marked step in advance for the art. Floral decorations
on plain surfaces characterized the lacquer work of Kyoto at the beginning
of the 15th century, but about the middle of that century a new departure
was made, greater varieties of decorations such as landscapes being used.
In addition to this they began raising the surface with lacquer, opening a
new poEsibitity to the industry. The closing years of the 17th cent, were

MAKING FANS.

Folding fan5 are called o£-i or rf>isit. The round ^tiff fans are termed uchiwa.
Of various kinds, those made of paper with bamboo ribs are most common to-day.
Folding fans are much used as presents. It is considered an emblem of good will an^
happiness, the spreading ribs repre-;enting ever-widening prosperity.

the period of greatest brilliancy for old Uici]uer. Specimens are to be found
in the old temples of iligushiyania. Some of them show wonderfid skill
and infinite patience. 'I'iie decoration of a single gold lacquer box was
often the work of years for masters. It was in the 18th century that a mode
of decOiation consisting of the use of small sijuares of gold foil in landscapes
was introduced with admirable uffect.

Present Condition.

Like other industries of Kyoto, the lacquer industry declined per-
ceptively with the remo\al of the capital to Tokyo. But since tlie opening
of trade with foreign countries and the revival of art industries in Japan
in general, it has begun to prosper. The best work is still to be found
among the productions of Kyoto artists. 0\er 900,000 pieces of lacquer
were made in Kj'Oto during the last year. 'I'heir total value is recorded to
be 591,935 .vif// of which 2\9,525 ycfi, represents tlie amount exported.

FANS.

The origin of fans in Japan is not definitely known. They were first
used at court and for religious ceremonies. ^I'here were times when
difierent kinds of fans were used to denote difference of rank, those used by
the common people, to wliom the privilege was finally given, differing
from those carried by the officials. It was customery for the court nobles
to carry fans decorated with designs aj^propriate for the month of the year
in whicli they were carried. It was at the close of the 12th century that a
priest of K}-oto made a folding fan and presented it to the Emperor Gotoba.
This seems to have been the beginning of the Kyoto folding fans. Kyoto
to-day is one of the chief seats of the fan industry. They are as yet all
made by hand, usually in private houses. According to the latest report,
more than seven millions were made during the year, their total value being
431,698_>r//. About twenty-five ])er cent, of these were exported.

The most ancient fans were made from small pieces of juniper wood.
Fans made of paper with bamboo ribs are most common to-day, although
those made of wood, silk and other materials are to be seen.

a strong impetus to the development nfthis industry which played snrh an
important part in the construetion and decorations of temples. The high
degree of skill attained by ancient masters in metal is fully attested by the
images, vases, censers, and other articles of metal still preserved in the
famous temples of Kyoto and Nara.

Various processes known as casting, embossing, liammcring, engraving,
damascening, plating, enamelling, and coloring have long been practiced
by Kyoto metal workers. There are a number of silver and gold smiths in
the western capital, producing mainly Jewells and ornamentations. There
are a great number of artists in bronze. Almost every conceivable article
is made with this metal, from the tiniest artistic vase to the big temple bell,
that sends its sweet tolling for miles across the plain.

Copper is used to a great extent. More than twenty thousand yen's
worth of lampburners, sixty-three thousand yen's worth of smoking pipes,
over one-half million jr^'j worth of copper wire was produced during the
last vear. Artistic articles made of iron are turned out in abundance. The
exquisite workmanship of Kyoto damascene artists captivates every foreign
visitor who sees the little boxes, trays, cases, and other articles covered with
damascene.

Cloisonne.

Although it is claimed that the art of enamaling upon metal was
known and practiced in Japan in the Nara period (657-781), the enamels
then produced never showed any really artistic or decorative qualities.
When used in subsidiary parts of metal work, cloisonne enamel played a
pleasing role even three centuries prior to the abolition of the feudal system.
The art had been kept secret until Kaji Tsunekichi, of Nagoya, taught it
to the artisans of different provinces in about 1840. In 187ii Momonoi
Gisaburo organized a cloisonne company in the western capital, but it failed
shortly after. Many a man tried to produce this ware under a systematic
method, but without avail. It was the industry and preserverance of
Namikawa Yasuyuki of Kyoto that won him the name of the inventor of
transparent enamels and made him master of the art, to be now regarded as
the great representative of what is known as the Old or Kyoto school. It
may be said that there are three schools of enamellers in the country, the
other two being the Nonchromatic School and the Cloisonluss School.
The prominent characteristic of the decoration jieculiar to that which
Namikawa represent is that it depends upon elaborate technique rather thao

- 33 —

brilliancy of color. The colors used are pure and harmonious, but gene-
rally subdued. We enevitably find a wealth of con\emional arabesque,
scroll, and draper, betraying endless patience.

The contribution that Dr. Wagnel made to cloisonne making in Japan
should never be forgotten. Jiis scientific inquiries and systematic experi-
ments while he was in Shamitsu-Kyoku, the experimental laboratory of
Kyoto, were valuable in many respects, especially in the preparation of the
enamels. The over production of inferior wares and tlie flooding of foreign
markets with them has brought about a marked decrease in the amount of
export. The entire production of cloisonne in Kyoto last year did not
amount to more than twenty thousand ><?//, which is but one-third of what
it used to be some six or seven years ago.

DOLLS AND TOYS.

In 1872 Kyoto toys first found their way abroad, Nearly 200,000
yen worth of toys is produoed in Kyoto annually for export, Toys for
home consumption are made in very small amounts, equalling one-tenth of
the entire amount produced in the country, which was 37,000 yen worth
last year.

Dolls are one of the characteristic productions of the western capital.
Some of the best dolls for tlie boys' and girls' festivals are still supplied by
Kyoto. Report shows that last year they were produced to the amount of
over 90,000^1?// worth. About one-tenth of the amount was purchased by
foreigners visiting the city.

MISCELLANEOUS PRODUCTS.

IVork in Hiuoki.

Little boxs, trays and the like made of this wood, artistically decorated
with inlay of different kinds of wood or pieces of different grains began to
be made in Kyoto at various homes some 18 years ago. Almost the entire
product find its way to different countries through Kobe merchants, amoun-
ting to over 20,000 ^r// worth in 1907.

Oshie zaiku.

Playing Cards.

Since the tax was levied on them, the iivodurt has diminished to about
one-eighth, 1,051,910 sets were produced in K^-oto last year, the total
value amounting to 170,100,1V7/.

Drawn Work.

This is mainly for export. Most of the work is done in homes, but
about a quarter of a million jr;/ worth is turned out annually.

Willow Basket Work.

Formerly many worked with iinported materials, but they are now
beginning to be supi:)lied with those produced at home. There is a great
prosi^ect for the industry. About 10,000 ;v// worth of these baskets is made
in Kyoto annually.

Gold and Silver Foil etc.

"With the introduction of Buddhism the demand for leaves and foils of
such metals as gold silver, brass and tin was created. Since then it has
increased to such an extent that machines are now used for manufacturing
brass and tin foils. Since the invention of a machine for making tin paper
in 1905, the field for its use has become much wider. Recent statistics
show the following figures for annual production.

Gold foil 1 99,200 ;w/.

Tined Goods.

At the time of the Russo Japanese War a great amovmt of beef was
tinned in Kyoto. Now bamboo si:)rout3 and mushrooms are the main
articles canned, although fish, fruits and vegetables are also preserved.

Umbrellas.

What are termed in Japan foreign umbrealls were first manufactured
in Kyoto in 1809. About a quarter of a million ;r// worth was turned out
last year, a good percentage of it representing the production of silk umbre-
llas. The export for the year was about 30,000 jr/'^ worth.

Needles.

The date of the first manufacture of needles in Kyoto is not known, but
they were well known as a special product of tlie capital in olden times.
Five years after the importation of the needle making machines in 1895,
wonderful progress was made in the industry, turning out needles as excel-
lent as those made by hand.

Paper.

Scores of varieties of Japanese paper for different purposes are produ-
ced in Kyoto. The higher g;ades of paper ha\e lately began to be ex-
ported. The total amount produced in the city during the last year was
about T2,000jr/'-' worth, about one-fuurth that of the previous year.

Copper -wire and Copper sheeting.

Kyoto has been famous for their production from olden times. Mar-
ked progress was made about twenty years ago. There is a strong demand
for them from China. The annual product in 1908 was nearly (j(»,0(X)
yen worth.

Bamboo Work.

Kyoto and the vicinity are noted for the superior quality of bamboo,
the best known being that of Snga, Yamashina and Kamo. Family utensils
and art objects have been made of bamboo in Kyoto from an early date.
Some articles found their way abroad soon after the Restoration, but it was
after the war against China in 1894 tliat the foreign demand began to
mcrease. About 20,000 ^r// worth of goods is manufactured every year
with a strong tendency to increase.

Artificial Flowers.

It has been customery in Japan from ancient times to use artificial
flowers at festivals and on ceremonial occasions, 'i'he Held for their use
was com])aratively limited, but when the making of them began to play an
important part in the ed\ication of girls at school, the demand for them as
household ornaments and decoration increased percepti\'ely. These changes
took place about fourteen years ago, and a noticeable development has been
made of late in the art. Mo:e than 13,000 ir/^ worth of artificial flowers
was exix)rted during last year, the principal market being America,

HORTICULTURE.

Landscape gardening.

" The growth of the gardens the prosperity of Rakuyo, while their lack speaks
of her decline," observed a Chinese writer in speaking of the relation that the
art of gardening bore to Rakuyo, an ancient Chinese metropolies. "And
Rakuyo is the best barometer registering the state of affairs in the
country. Her rise means peace and happiness in the nation, while her fall
indicates the decline of the country ". The statement brings out the truth
that gardening is the product of peaceful and luxurious life.

History of Gardening.

At first, when the Chinese style of architecture was adopted in Japan
especially in palace buildings, the gardeas were quite independent of the
buildings. It was so when the Emperor Kammu constructed a garden called
Shizenen south of his palace in Kyoto. The traces of this fact can still be
seem in the garden, though it has suffered some changes. During the
Fujiwara period, a style of architecture called Shindenzukuri prevailed
among the upper class. It was at this time that gardens were laid out in
connection with buildings. Besides ponds, bridges and other ornaments,
small cottages called Tauridono were introduced into the gardens.

The influence of the Zen sect of Buddhism and of tea ceremony
began to tell on the gardens and buildings, especially in the .A.shikaga era.
It was from this time on that the garden was laid out in harmony with the
buildings. This was a decided step toward the perfection of the art. Much
credit is due the mastere such as the priest named Muso (1276-1351), and
Soami (1-435-1490) who laid out the garden of Ginkakuji, still in excellent
presenation, and Kobori Enshu (1579-1647) whose niasterly works are still
to be admired in Katsura no Rikyu, the detached palace at Katsura, Kodaiji,
Daitokuji, Y\iboan.

Kyoto ha<5 many gardens of note in good preservation. They show
the characteristic Superiority of Japanese landscape gardening in that each is
so laid out that the distant natural scenery appears a part of it, giving the
effect of unlimited expaasc. Though the actual size of a garden may be
but a 5mall fraction of an acre, it is so constructed as to appear to extend to
the distant hills.

Garden Ornaments.

(icirden ornaments, such as stone or bronze lanterns, bridges and rocks,
can be used with good effect in gardens of foreign style. Some of our
foreign visitors have taken honic with them moss-covered stone lanterns and
liicturcsquc bridges to decorate gardens on strange soil.

GARDEN OF DAIGOJI.
This l)eautiful garden in the tei7iple ground was laid out by Knl)ori Knshu,
who left in Kyoto and visinity many masterpieces of landscape gardening having done
his work mostly in the first half of the seventeenth century.

A SHORT EXPLANATION TO THE PHOTOGRAPH,

We, the iindersighned, have the honour to anno-
unce to onr patrons and the public generally that,
having had a long experience in this line of business,
as we have established in 1740, we succed the skillful
methods of Uzen Dyeing from Mivazaki Uzen, the
original inventor.

Pig. No. i The kakemono is made by Uzen himself
some two hundred and thirty years ago. This is the
good to keejD the highly estimated possession in mj-
household and it was acknowledged by the investiga-
tion Board of Treasures as one of superior goods of
its kinds. With much improvements even since made
in its dyeing and other invention. It is widening its
markets both domestic and foreign. We are enjoying
patronages by the Imperial Household and upper
classes, and also highly awarded gold and silver prizes
bv several exhibitions.

Pig. No. 2 The dyeing of this picture is skillfully
done mainly by the hand work.

Pig. No. 3 Kimonos of chei-ry patterns.

Pig. No. 4 The landscape paintings imitated of old
masterpieces and applied as cushion-patterns.

Pig. No. 5 and 6 Dyed on both sides ; Dharma and
poets in gold are apjDlied on ribbon, the latest
samples.

IVIn-de only in Kyoto:— Zhogan, the home name of

Damascene work, has lieen lionored willi the jiopular reputation of being
made only in Kyoto.

Xlio ofif^f naitoi' in Da-niascene worlx :

fXir family, the ori<^inalor and tlie only manufacturer in Damascene work in
Japan, has enjoyed the fame from by our forefathers, finding our best patronage
among Samurais, scattered all over the land, as the exclusive ornaments on
swords, guns and spears, tlie spirits of them.

Tlie removation causes by the Restoration of Mei-ji, conducted by Toku-
gawa-.Shogun in 1S67, e<|ualizctl all ranks, liigh and low, an<l wearing a sword
l)y liie Samurai was strictly prohibile<l. It was therefore our fathers' misfor-
tune tlial be bad to give up the only means of making liis livelihootl.

.Suljjectetl to distress and tragedy, our father struggled lo hand il tlic
art down to his heirs as he received it from his fatlier. In spite of adversity,
with the light of invention came the great chance to ajiply the work of Zhogan
on articlas in European and American styles.

For several huntlred years pasl, we have been engai;jed in maiuifactuiing
incense, incense stici<Sj writing and painting hrushss and India ink.

The materials fur incense are taken from animals or vegetables found in
tlie countries of the East, while the method of preparation, besides adopting
the old method inherited from our ancestors, includes modern discoveries.

The secret of mixing incenses was hitherto inherited by the House of
Pr'n:e Sanjo, by whom for generations the mixed incense was presented to the
Imperial Court. The late Prince >>an'p ^anetoini, prime minister at the
beginning of Meiji era, who was very busy in discharging his public duty and
had no time of making the incense for the Imperial Court, transmitted the
secret to our house. Since then we have been honoured with the appointment
of incense manufacturer to the Imperial household. .

As for the writing and painting brushes and Indiarink, not being satisfied
with relying upon old inherited methods alone, we have often gone to Chlnr,
and investigated the methods of manufacturing there. We have brought many
improvements from there, so thai our goods have become noted for their exce-
llence and we have had conferred u])on us numerous Medals of Honour, Medals
of Progress, or Med:ds of~NIerit. etc., etc., at Domestic and Foreign Exhibitions.

In consideration of the fact that our export trade in perfumery has been
increasing year by year, we have invented a special incense slick burner which
hae been unexpectedly appreciated by the public. This incense burner is made
in bronze, other metals, porcelain, wood and bamboo. It is put up together m
a box with incense sticks in it, a most convenient, useful an<l cheap article.
We receive Orders through foreign merchants in Kol)e and Yokohama for
Christinas season. We solicit the patronage of foreign ladies and gentlemtin.
N.B. Some imitations with ornaments similar to o-.irs are being sold.
.\ttenlion is directed to the mentioned registered trade mark.

" Xo appropriate European name exists for this fovourite

word has some times been translated, give a false idea of the thing.
SAKE is obtained from fermented rice by a complicated process,
which can only be carried out during the winter, and it contains
from eleven (o forteen per cent of alcohol. Cnriously enough, Euro-
